I cannot recommend Will4adventure highly enough. I was nervous at heights, but now I consider myself a novice climber (which is surreal for me!) Will and his team are incredibly skilled and hugely professional, and perhaps more importantly their enthusiasm for being outdoors and at height is infectious! Wherever you are in terms of skill (petrified of heights or an experienced climber) and whatever you are aiming for (escalators with ease or a full-on mountain climb) you will be able to achieve your goals without any pressure, thanks to the infinite patience and dedication of Will and his team. I will be booking more one to one sessions and a family adventure day is also hopefully on the agenda so I can share my new skills/hobby. Thanks Will!!

I have just done the fear of heights course and it was absolutely amazing. I did so many things that I thought were impossible. Brian’s session in the morning was really good and I went into the afternoon calm. Jamie and Adam were brilliant they were encouraging and calming. They explained everything and gave you as much time as you needed to have a go. The way it builds up so you just push yourself a little bit more is good and when you have reached your limit that is ok . The group of people I was on the course with were excellent everybody was encouraging and helped each other. When I reached the top of the climb on the Sunday I felt capable of anything. Thank you so much Jamie, Adam and Brian. I will be back to do some more climbing.

I have just returned from the fear of heights course. It really was a great experience. The morning with Brian was very informative and I will be having a closer look at NLP and EFT.
The practical exercises with Will and Adam had me doing things I would have never done prior to this! Will managed the process in a very encouraging, step by step way- he said we might all reach a ‘no go’ point- and I did but I only have positive memories! The picture on the profile is me getting to the top of the final climb! You can’t imagine my relief and the sense of achievement will be a lasting memory.
Well done to the other guys and big thanks to Will and Adam- great fun and a pleasure to meet you all.

Jack Jeffery

A huge thanks to Will, Adam and Brian for your leadership, encouragement and inspiration! It was an amazing weekend, despite the extreme weather, and i know I’ll be able to draw on the skills and techniques we learnt when i next have to overcome my fear! Can recommend this course to anyone who is finding their fear of heights is stopping them doing what they want to do!

Jane Davies

Thanks for a memorable weekend. Since getting home a frenzy of googling has highlighted some skiing related articles and a book that follow and overlap with the same principles as the course. It’s good to finally have a more focused path to follow that I feel I can believe in and I would never have got that starting point without the course. So a big thank you again to you and Adam and Brian.

What do we do on this course to help you overcome your fear of heights?

This is a gradual process and it does not force you to do anything you don’t want to, or that you’re not happy to do.

Our fear of heights course begins with an indoor session looking at why you have a fear of heights and at re-writing the narrative that runs through your mind. To overcome your acrophobia, (fear of heights), you need to program your unconscious mind with a healthy level of intelligent wariness and then use that wariness to replace your irrational terror. In this first session a group hypnotherapy session will be utilised.

Anyone else running this therapy would end the treatment there. Thank you very much and good luck …

Our course is unique – here’s why

We don’t just run a therapy session indoors. Following the first session, we use our outdoor expertise as a medium through which you can further consolidate the progress made indoors. We now head outdoors and start again: this time using CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), or Exposure Therapy. With highly specialised leaders, we help you understand your brain, and then help you to develop your confidence with heights.

This course will aim to achieve its objectives through three phases

1 – The morning of day 1. A session of therapy with a specialist therapist in this field.

2 – Afternoon of day 1. Out to the Peak District. By this stage your unconscious mind
will have made vast progress, but on a conscious level you won’t be so sure. We use a
system of graduated activities outside to demonstrate to you how far you have now come.

3 – All of day 2. This phase further consolidates upon your progress and we continue to
offer you opportunities to gain positive experiences at height.

“I want to thank you again for an excellent weekend. I actually had quite a lump in my throat on Sunday evening on thinking that I wouldn’t see that group again, as we’d all been through a unique and powerful experience. I think yours and Brian’s fear of heights course is brilliant and on Sunday in particular I felt full of confidence and now can’t wait to do more . . .”

Went on the fear of heights course last month, run by Brian, Adam and Angie on the day. Went into it cautious due to a bad experience at height and unsure about what to expect, but from the first minute was made to feel comfortable and relaxed. The course was really good fun, and everyone in the group did things they never would have dreamt they'd have done beforehand. You can really tell they have been running this course for a long time and the experience and expertise of all involved was reassuring and made it just seem like a couple of days out in the peaks. Atmosphere was excellent, really friendly easy-going people, and felt so much more confident about being at heights after than I did before. To anyone considering I would highly recommend, the only course like it in the UK and it really sets the foundations for a completely different outlook on heights for anyone who struggles. Thankyou all and hopefully will get on some more courses/walks in the future.

Omgoodness I never dreamt I could archive such heights. A wonderful kind, supportive, calm, patient team. Would recommend 100%, definitely going back for more courses.

I managed to go on ‘Overcoming Fear of Heights’ due to my fear and being nervous at heights, On day 1, I woke up and was still in two minds whether to go or not, But I pushed my self to drive the 82miles to the destination, where we were in a classroom learning new techniques off how to overcome the fear, (very interesting). In the afternoon we started to put into action what we had just learned in the classroom, by learning how to (abseil). Humm, I thought but yes, I will anticipate, (as I had never done this before), It was so simple to use the equipment, But I was still very nervous when I stood on the edge off a drop. But with the professionally of the team, I managed to complete part 1 and 2 off this challenge, (and my confidence grew). Then when it came to the final challenge the big one, I lost my bottle, they never put me under any pressure just talked to me and tried to encourage me to do it, but unfortunately my mine was made up not to do it. (Very silly) I then thought should I stop the night and find a hotel or go home and quit as I failed the last challenge, (I decided to go home). On the way home I looked back on the day I had just had and then realised what I had achieved, Yes I learnt how to Abseil and stand on the edge off a drop. (Never been able to do this before). So, in the morning I drove back up for day 2, (still feeling nervous as what was a head, but not ready to quit as that is what I had paid for). Which is when I found out we was going to do some rock climbing (Interesting) The techniques we were shown, was very interesting and I was amazed what can be accomplished, (highly recommended). With all the little challenges done, I was ready for the big climb down and then back up (still nervous). But when I got to the top of the climb the feeling was amazing and (overwhelming at what I had just accomplished) I would highly recommend this course, as they get you to go out of your comforted zone but if you are not happy, they do not push you. (Well worth the experience). Thank you very much for the experience, I highly recommend this course, Well worth the money. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND GO FOR IT.

Just completed the 2 day ‘Overcoming Fear of Heights’ course in the Peak District. An amazing and invaluable experience. Will, Hayden and Brian all extremely professional, experienced, encouraging and fun, despite the challenges. Can’t believe what I achieved in just 2 days and now looking forward to conquering Striding Edge later this year. Thank you guys. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Emergency First Aid level 6 scqf course. An excellent in depth course that covered all the areas needed for our Rugby Club. It was a very professional and enjoyable course. Thank you Will.

Did Wilderness First Aid with Will in February. Great course. Loads of excellent practical sessions designed to drum in the important bits of the lessons. Few 'trick' scenarios thrown in to keep us on our toes.

Great first Aud course. Always based on the practical outdoor elements and always learn useful tips. Great to get the extra day for the advanced outdoor first aid course.

Completed the Outdoor First Aid qualification with Will recently and can thoroughly recommend him. His own extensive practical experience of the outdoors and first aid shines through and adds legitimacy. The course is very hands on practical in nature, you will also need good acting skills!

I was lucky enough to be on the ‘Overcome Your Fear of Heights’ course last weekend in the Peak District with Will, Stu and Brian, and it was a truly amazing experience! The weekend was professionally run, really good fun and most importantly effective! I have suffered with a fear of heights (and particularly massive bridges) for the last 20 years but only 3 days after the course, I am now driving confidently over the Kessock Bridge in Inverness (a big bridge!) and looking forward to many other amazing adventures without a crippling fear hanging over me and spoiling so many days out! I recommend this course to anyone who is fearful and is letting a fear of heights stand in the way of living life. You will be amazed at what you end up doing in just two days! I admit that I thought about backing out several times before showing up on the Saturday morning as I was so unsure as to what my expectations should be. I’m SO glad I didn’t back out, as this has changed my life for the better. The classroom session with Brian was sensitively run and although a bit baffling at the time, worked incredibly well. I would love to share the secret of how effective this session is, but I have no idea how it works…it just does! The outdoor sessions for the rest of the weekend were fantastic! Will and Stu were incredibly supportive, understanding and encouraging without forcing or coercing you to do anything uncomfortable. They simply encourage you towards success and then congratulate you when you achieve it! Their inspiring insights, reassuring words and manner spur you into trying things you would never have believed possible, in fact by day two I was at the front of the line for every activity! Yes me!!! Thanks to Will and the team, I have already made incredible progress and intend to continue pushing the boundaries with my newly discovered confidence. If you are thinking about doing this course, then don’t hesitate, go for it and you will never look back! Thanks to Will, Stu and Brian. I’m already looking forward to the next adventure with you guys!

I've just completed the Outdoor First Aid course. I feel more confident now than ever (I've done at least 4 other first aid courses). Will teaches things in a way that you will remember during an emergency, and he focuses in the things you will come across in the outdoor environment. I find this course with Will very useful
